The prize-winning and best-selling author of Say Nothing presents a grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling.

Steven A. Cohen changed Wall Street. He and his fellow pioneers of the hedge fund industry didn’t lay railroads, build factories, or invent new technologies. Rather, they made their billions through financial speculation, by placing bets in the market that turned out to be right more often than not.

At times redundant. Redundant at times.

Also, the narrator's voice (at least at 1.25x) grated on me. Overall a good story, but if you're in the industry and followed the news loosely, there isn't a whole lot that comes as new information. I wish there was more discussion of the Newman ruling and its implications-- something that was glossed over. "Oh yeah, Steinberg's conviction was overturned because apparently there was no crime. Moving right along...."

A sharp and illuminating history of one of capitalism's longest-running tensions - the conflicts of interest among public-company directors, managers, and shareholders - told through entertaining case studies and original letters from some of our most legendary and controversial investors and activists.

Really enjoyed the book and the narration is strong. Full letters are at the end to boot.
